<div dir="ltr">Bill,
<div> One clean way to do it would be to use a ConnectDER, but the max input is 11.5 kw. We have used several of these for under 10 k installations and have saved lots of install time. They are not cheap (approx $300+). Our power company sells them to installers. </div>

<div>Wrenches,</div>
<div> </div>
<div> Customer currently has a hacked up 200 amp Sylvania meter/mains panel. He also is averaging a load of 74 KWhrs/day! which will require about 15 KW system size at this site. Obviously a system this size cannot backfeed the busses in the load center. Because the exiting panel is a mess anyway, I'm suggesting it gets changed out.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> What sort of new 200 amp service would facilitate a clean supply side connection. One thought is have separate Utility meter socket then a 12 X 12 J-box with a monster power distribution block in it and then a distribution panel (without the meter socket)...this being a way to insert a means to grid-tie between the meter and the 200 amp main breaker. A little spendy but nothing like going to higher amp service to be able to load side connect.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> A 400 amp panel is not an option as the existing 165' of 3" pvc underground conduit to the pole currently has 4/0 alum. The utility says it would have to be 4" for the new cable and the cost $10K+ for the upgrade.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> Other ideas??</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks in advance</div>
